Wash strawberries, and dry on paper towels. Cut out the hull, or "cap,"  
with the point of a paring knife. Cut the strawberries lengthwise into  
slices. Mix sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Let  
stand 1 hour.  
Heat the oven to 450º.  
Mix the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder and salt in a medium  
bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture, using a pastry blender or  
crisscrossing 2 knives, until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.  
Stir the milk into the crumb mixture just until blended and a dough forms.  
If the crumb mixture is not completely moistened, stir in an additional 1  
to 3 teaspoons milk. Drop the dough by 6 spoonfuls onto the ungreased  
cookie sheet.  
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.  
Just before serving, prepare Sweetened Whipped Cream (below). Split warm  
or cool shortcakes horizontally. Spoon whipped cream and strawberries over  
bottoms of shortcakes. Top with tops of shortcakes and additional whipped  
cream and strawberries.  
SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM:  
Beat the whipping cream and sugar in a chilled medium bowl with the  
electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve immediately.
